First of all, WHEN did this alledged affair happen? Since this is a FBI/CIA thing, it's a little weird that a detail like WHEN this affair happened and WHEN they found out about it initially has been omitted.

Secondly, Will Petraeus testify at the Bengahazi hearing coming up this week? If the answer is no, we can clearly see WHY this is happening now.

Obama is running for his life and if he keeps up this criminal/unethical behavior he will end up impeached and possibly in jail. He better remember that he's still a black man and he can't be like Nixon and think he will walk around freely. He will be our very first president sitting in jail in a striped uniform.
Can't argue with that. They would love to toss that nigger in jail.

CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation set off a round of conspiracy theories on the right wing, where many tried to connect the surprising development to their favorite "scandal:" the tragic attacks on an American outpost in Benghazi, Libya. Perhaps Republicans with questions about the timing of the announcement should ask Majority Leader Eric Cantor -- who was reportedly tipped off about Petraeus' affair way back on October 31.

catdaddy, cut it out bruh...


It's not right-wing conspiracy that Obama has side-stepped a bullet, by booting Petraeus before The Congressional Hearing was able to get claws into him...and humiliate plus embarrass the CIA

Very good Catdaddy,
And Eric Cantor is not the only republicans who was notified about the affair. There was another top ranking person. Both of these men were even notified before the White House was notified.

Eric Cantor has been Obama's nemesis every since he was elected the Majority Whip. TEA PARTY loved and supported. This is the Eric Cantor who ALLOWED Obama to be re-elected because he kept him mouth shut protecting the RETHUGLICAN Patraeus.

Here's another take on it:

The Fall of Petraeus: A CIA Coup?

It now seems clear what occurred to bring down CIA Director David Petraeus: some months ago his paramour Paula Broadwell sent threatening emails to another woman warning her to keep away from Petraeus, seemingly unaware that computers and emails have signatures that can be identified by investigators. The woman, identified by the Associated Press as Jill Kelley, became alarmed over being threatened and notified the FBI, which got into the emails to discover that there was an affair in progress, leading to an investigation of Petraeus to determine if any classifed information had been leaked. Broadwell was subsequently interviewed by FBI agents, as was Petraeus two weeks ago. The Justice Department informed Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about the affair on election night, which led to a phone call to Petraeus. Clapper recommended that he resign and informed the White House. Petraeus met with the president on Thursday and submitted his resignation, which was accepted on Friday.

Adultery is not exactly uncommon at CIA, but the Director operates at a much more political level than do the other ranks. There are some interesting questions being raised about the timing. Petraeus knew he would be exposed when he was interviewed by the FBI, if not before through Broadwell. Due to its sensitivity, Attorney General Eric Holder, to whom the FBI reports, had to know about the investigation as soon as the link to Petraeus was established, and he must have also known about the adultery. Is it plausible that he did not inform the president? Was it Petraeus’s personal decision to wait until after the election before submitting his resignation?

There are also the inevitable CIA rumors that are going around in the former spook community this weekend. To set up the interview between Petraeus and the FBI, the CIA Office of Security must have become involved. One suspects that the security people must have already known about the affair, as the DCI operates within a tight security cocoon. If they knew, others in the Agency also knew. Contrary to some recent press coverage, Petraeus was not very well liked by many at CIA. Former military officers in general are disliked pro forma, but Petraeus was particularly resented because he was perceived as moving forward with the paramilitarization of the Agency. He recently requested more drones and the paramilitary share of a shrinking overall budget continues to grow. This has particularly miffed the Agency’s former elite, the Clandestine Services, a group well versed in bringing about regime change within CIA itself. I personally recall how they mounted a campaign and forced out the Reagan/Bill Casey selection as Director of Operations Max Hugel back in 1981. They also contributed to the fall of Director John Deutch. Agency spies have long watched their money and influence shrink and might have figured out some way to help things along with the objective of bidding fond farewell to General Petraeus. This is just speculation, mind you.

I see you are getting you info from a Conservative sight. They are SPECULATING and IMPLYING and they are doing this for polical reason. And like I have said, David Patraeus is a Republican, a beloved Republican. This is why the right has never slammed him for Benghazi. Also we have Eric Cantor who knew about the affair. Why aren't they slamming him?

The FBI doesn't have to report investigations to Holder or anyone. ONLY when an arrest should be made and crimanal charges file on Federal cases does the attorney general get involved. The FBI is an investigating organization. They can investigate Eric Holder if need be.

The question on why the FBI got involve centers around the woman who is a FAMILY FRIEND of the Patraeus's who notified her friend who works for the FBI about a threatning e-mail the was traced back to this Paula Broadwell.

I'm just not buying the "affair" ruse. What I know is that they're all liars, so if we find the truth it's because they can't cover it up. Perhaps we'll learn what really happened.
